Updated measurements and jersey numbers from newcomers...

Sorry, late to the party here, but I thought Gibbs was at WR? He and JJP both wearing #6 on D?

Good call

Heading off the grid to a cabin in North Carolina for a few days, you guys don't kill each other...later rednecks.

Thank goodness

Watch your corn hole, bud.

Speaking of restaurants in Austin. I just found out some friends of mine are talking about expanding their restaurant there and I'm pumped. Some of y'all may have been or heard of it. It's called Hawkers Asian street fare. Started in Orlando and is now also in Jacksonville Tampa Atlanta and Charlotte I believe. If you ever get a chance, check it out. It's really good. Couple of my old friends from high school and college roommates started and own it.

I like the classic black outline on the numbers, too. Can't do that anymore. UT wants to add a gray outline, but there's a lead time with Nike.

IDT it's all that subliminal that, under Fulmer, UT is connecting to the past.

Bring the VOLS star logo and Davy Crockett back.

They probably know Gibbs won’t be eligible this year.

Gray outline would look nice IMO

 

[justwatch123]

I’m a all orange or white top orange pants kind of guy.

Come on Hank .
Stormtroopers best Tennessee uniform

 

[InVOLuntary]

It definitely would look less cool if it was a Bama DL standing over our QB.

Here’s your palette cleanser for that mental image...

Favorite play was Al leading the blocking on that fumble recovery and laying out that Florida lineman. Man I miss the good old days.

 

[AF_VOL]

Congratulations.

Thank you. It's going to be tough after 14 years of being Enlisted to get my mind right to be a trainee again.

yeah, that play stood out....love it. miss it dearly.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Man that video gave me literal goosebumps....

I cannot wait for this season. I think CJP & staff have put that "purpose with the pads" back to the defense. Next year and year 4 will really be stellar defensive teams under this staff when they've got nothing but well fed weight-room monsters on the team.

The coaches had players change numbers late in Fall camp last year after they developed the special teams depth chart.
More than a dozen Vols change jersey numbers

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Also...kind of a poll about uniforms


I have for some time wanted to see an orange helmet with white T, am I alone in this? Not to be worn often mind you...but would be cool to see every once in awhile to go "all orange" or to even be the alternate helmet for the all whites.

My least favorite combinations is orange pants and white jersey...I don't know why I just don't like it, I prefer all orange or white pants.

I’ve seen plenty of mock ups of that and could get onboard as a once a season gig

 

[SweetasSoda]

PSU, UT and bama all have plain normal traditional unis and rarely stray from them. I like the plain look and if you look at the top ten winningest programs you see all of them have uniforms that rarely change and are synonymous with college football

The orange stripe on the pants is not to be compared to the outrageous Oregon uniforms. It was still normal and traditional....just not plain. I love Tennessee orange. I like a Tennessee orange stripe. I'm beginning to question if some of y'all love TN enough lol.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Tennessee picked to finish fifth in SEC East

Well, that sucks

i hated the fat single stripe on the pant leg. hated it. and i typically don't get bent about uniforms. but that just didn't look right. that and the skinny helmet stripe.

dual stripe or no stripe on the pants. fat stripe on the helment. the checkerboard accents didn't bother me. smokey greys didn't bother me. but those uni's from the early aughts were terrible.

 

[Catbone]

Or anthracite, but I think they're going with the smokey.

Next year?
